Our campus in Nanterre

Located in the dynamic Les Groues district of Nanterre, in western Paris, the campus is dedicated to work-study. Close to shops, cultural venues and the business district, it is connected to La Défense, in the immediate vicinity of the Grande Arche, home to the headquarters of some of the biggest French and international companies that welcome our students.

Studying at the Nanterre campus

More than 10,500 m2 exclusively dedicated to work-study programs have been designed to bring together all students. With eight floors, around forty classrooms, a coworking space, thirteen computer rooms and two lecture theaters, the building has the capacity to accommodate up to 2,300 learners, as well as around one hundred employees and teaching teams. The Nanterre campus is definitely designed to meet the needs of today’s workforce as well as the expectations of students.

Our work-study program

At the heart of a new eco-neighborhood connected to La Défense

To offer an exceptional learning experience, we have chosen to locate our new campus in the heart of the new district to the west of Paris, in the immediate vicinity of the Grande Arche de La Défense, home to the headquarters of the largest French and international companies that welcome our learners. This new district brings together green spaces, housing, offices and educational facilities from kindergarten to higher education.

The new Nanterre-La-Folie station on line E and, in 2030, on the future metro 15, will link the campus to Gare du Nord in 12 minutes, compared with 25 today.

An eco-designed campus open to the world

After two years of construction work, Groupe IGENSIA Education's latest campus, 100% dedicated to work-study programs, opened its doors in January 2025 in the Les Groues district of Nanterre. Inaugurated by the President of the Île-de-France Region, this eco-designed campus is at the cutting edge of technology, serving sustainable teaching methods that are open to the world.

Designed in collaboration with A26 Architecture, Briqueville and Telamon, and built in collaboration with Nanterre town council, the real estate project represents an investment of over 70€ million, financed with the support of the Île-de-France region.
